Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

Ontem à noite, espetáculo divertido (e cheio) no Teatro Micaelense, com a companhia masculina de ballet, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, e as suas versões muito próprias de Tchaikovsky e Bachs, entre outros. Como de costume, algumas zangas com o preço dos bilhetes (20-30€) e dos mini-catálogos (2€). De resto, uma boa maneira de se passar um sábado à noite. Veja-se o site dos senhores em Trockadero.org

Algumas pérolas do “curriculum” dos bailarinos:

LARISKA DUMBCHENKO
Before defecting to the West, Lariksa’s supreme agility aroused the interest of the Russian space program and in 1962 she became the first ballerina to be shot into orbit. Hurtling through the stratosphere, she delivered handy make-up tips to an assembled crowd of celebrities back on Earth, including the now legendary….”Whitney Houston, we have a problem….”

MARIA GERTRUDES CLUBFOOT
Last of the great American Indian ballerinas: Larkin, Tallchief (Maria and Marjorie), Clubfoot. Maria, pride of the Luni Tribe, began her training with the Wounded Knee Ballet and blazed a dance warpath with her literal “Slaughter on 10th Avenue,” universally acclaimed and banned for Clubfoot’s use of traditional Indian weaponry.
Maria appears with the Trockadero under special permission from Federal authorities.
